OpenMRS Security Assessment Wiki
We are breaking down our security and HIPAA risk assessment into smaller groups, based on the part of OpenMRS we are studying and the aspect of compliance we are focusing on. Each team should create a page for itself by copying the contents from the OpenMRS Security Assessment Wiki Assessment Template A.
This assessment is broken into a series of assignments. Since each team faces a different set of challenges, the assignments have a flexible allocation of points. Surplus points on any part can offset points needed on other parts.
